Network from 1976
It looks like the cycle is complete. It's 1976 again. He could be talking about how things are now.

Weekly?
I get explosively pissed off on an hourly basis.
And believe it or not, I was just at the Dr. and he said my blood pressure was low to normal. This was 2 minutes after I blew up at a lady in the waiting room who was letting her kid run up and down the hallway screaming while she plugged one ear and yelled into the cell phone crammed in the other ear.
I believe that actor was nominated for a Oscar for that role but did not win.
Powerful performance there.

Isn't that ironic how fitting everything he said applies to today's world?
That vid made my day!

(spoilers ahead) I love the movie. who can argue with this sentiment with the economy in the toilet? But it's really just lip service. Everyone was tuned in to see him shoot himself and the network put him on the air for ratings turning this guy's lunacy into a product. This scene is taken out of context like Jack Nicholson's "you can't handle the truth" scene in a Few Good Men where it looks like Jack is the bad ass. In context he was being baited by Cruise's charactor. Watch the movie if you haven't. it really satirizes the dawn of today's consumer culture of instant gratification. the "love scene" is 30 seconds long iirc-- the length of a commercial.
on a related note...
"In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in living color, you are going to see another first: an attempted suicide." then the 30-something anchor woman shoots herself
Network draws from the on-air suicide of host / anchor women Christine Chubbuck in '74. that is a crazy story in itself.
apparently there was a tape of it but thankfully the authorities seized it and eventually turned it over to the family who probably destroyed it.
(modified to add a spoiler alert and omit extraneous beer tray and 8 inches of frame )
I own Network. I really think its incredible.
That was Faye Dunaway, right? She's hot. What was the question?
she's crazy in that movie though.
